Albumen print carte de visite portrait of a seated gentleman with a dignified mustache, produced by the Steinberger & Bauer photography studio in Frankfurt am Main. The studio imprint appears on verso, consistent with mid-19th century German photographic practices.
Standard CDV format, measuring approximately 2½ × 4 inches. Likely dates to the 1860s–1870s based on style and mount. The image has faded over time, revealing original hand-retouching to the eyes—a common enhancement technique of the period. Light wear and age-related discoloration present; acceptable antique condition overall.
Studio Note:
Steinberger & Bauer operated in Frankfurt during the height of carte de visite popularity, offering formal portraits to the rising middle class. Their work reflects the era’s emphasis on personal dignity and photographic innovation.
